- 12 Medjool dates, pitted
 
- 1/3 cup almond butter (or nut butter of choice)

- 1 cup dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
 
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
 
- Flaky sea salt, for garnish
 
		 
	 
	
		
		
			
- Slice each date lengthwise to create an opening without cutting all the way through.
 
- In a small bowl, mix almond butter with cinnamon if using.
 
- Fill each date with about 1 teaspoon of almond butter. Press gently to close.
 
- In a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler, melt the chocolate and coconut oil until smooth.
 
- Dip each stuffed date into the melted chocolate, coating it fully. Place on a parchment-lined tray.
 
- Drizzle with extra chocolate if desired and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
 
- Chill in the fridge for 15–20 minutes or until the chocolate sets.
 
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
 
		 
	 
	
		Notes
		
			
- Use natural almond butter for a smoother texture and richer flavor.
 
- Try other nut butters like peanut or cashew for variety.
 
- Can be made ahead and stored up to a week in the fridge.
 
- Add chopped nuts or coconut flakes on top for extra texture.
